Start ‘Em #3

In Week 9 Cowboys stud wide out Dez Bryant will make only his third start of this season after suffering a foot injury very early on this season. Dez only scored one fantasy point in his return last weekend against the Legion of Boom.

This week, the Dallas Cowboys and Bryant go up against the Philadelphia Eagles for the second time. Dez did not play in their first meeting in Week 2. The Eagles rank 25th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide outs. Also, Dez has historically played pretty good against his division rivals

Starting quarterback Tony Romo is still on the short-term injured reserve list for Dallas, but Matt Cassel is the starter, and he should be able to get the ball early and often to Bryant if he’s smart. Cassel has been pretty good as Dallas’ starter, but has yet to win a game as the starter in Big D.

He should be hungry to play well and prove his worth this week, which should bode well for Dez.

Consider Dez a must-start option this week, as he is just too talented to have on your bench. Get him in your lineups this week and expect double-digit production for the first time this season.
